Trump is 100% a Russian asset, wild to see that after it was blatantly obvious the first go around we were like "yeah let's out a Russian spy back in the white house."

The important point isn’t even whether or not he is a Russian asset. He undoubtedly is, but that doesn’t actually matter. All that matters is that he’s acting like a Russian asset. He’s doing all the things a Russian asset would do. Ultimately, whether the orders are actually coming from Putin is irrelevant, because the end result is still the same.

Half the country have always been aware of it, but are powerless to stop it, the other half either voted for him because of it- or are in complete denial that it’s happening- right before their eyes.

What you are saying is that the president of the most powerful country in the world, that spend 10 times more in war than russia, that run the biggest surveillance network ever seen in history, that has thousand of military infrastructures around the planet and that has the most technological advanced army in the world is 100% a russian asset...

This is obviously subjective and depends how you define "asset".

If you're asking whether Trump is a red sparrow recruited as a orphan and trained in espionage, ballet, and martial arts from the age of 4, that's obviously not the case.

If you're asking whether Trump is easily manipulated by his desire for validation from competitors, or his desire to exert power over others, then that's obviously true.

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

imagine using your brain and looking at reality as it is actually playing out. Based on your previous comment, I thought that included you.

This is all BlueAnon conspiracy theorists have when you actually press them on their insanity: catty insults

[-] LePoisson@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Yes. I think that he might push back at times for appearance sake but his foreign policy is basically just "do what's good for Russia."

USA and Russia relations don't boil down just to ukraine. The two countries have been at war for almost a century

I know it doesn't just boil down to Ukraine, take the situation in Syria for a good example of Trump towing the Russian line during his first term in office.

So then are you telling me this as a way to make it even more surprising and crazy that Trump and his admin constantly side with Russia?

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 3 points 23 hours ago

The US and Russia side together when it benefit their authoritarian goals, see the case of Snowden getting stuck in russia because USA said so or look at the silence in general concerning global surveillance: russia never spoke a word about it because they also have their own surveillance and they don't want the public to know about it.

What do you think the US does with the biggest army in the world? Are all their warplanes getting dust in hangars?
